Imagine
a game where you control a tank armed to the teeth carrying out missions with
specific criteria, then imagine that you were apart of a Hip Hop Organization,
and the turret of your tank read "Keepin Da Peace". The introduction,
to this game was very well done. It starts out as an interactive garage, where
you can actually introduce yourself to the members of the team. When you are
done appreciating the eye candy, you have the option of going to the Briefing
Room where you will receive your objectives.

Apart
from the introduction, this game was rather basic. The view was from the
cockpit of the tank, complete with radar screen so you can pinpoint the other
tanks/vehicles, and a gauge for your energy, weapons, and a gun display (so you
knew what you were firing). The resolution was crisp unless you got right up on
an object, then you'd notice the pixelation. Overall, the game's graphics were
satisfactory, not mind-blowing, but not disappointing either.

The
sound consisted of Hip Hop beats with dialogue inserted here and there (whenever
you took a hit, or destroyed someone. The tracks were slammin enough for me to
get into this game, and the encouragement by way of slang coming from Earshot
kept me hyped.

The
control of the tank was smooth and required some reading of the novel so the
player can maximize the Sony paddle. Shellshock allows the player to drive one
direction while swiveling the Tank Gun(s) in different directions.
The
environment is supposedly 3-D, but like most games of this genre, its really 2-D
(like Doom). A positive feature of the game is that you can upgrade your
vehicle as you earn money from Props, a supposed weapons dealer that is
a part of your organization. Why you have to pay him is beyond me, but I didn't
make the game. (I just play it).
One downside of the game, is that
every time I play, the enemies seem to be in the same place, offering little
challenge, or excitement for repeat play.

Excellent
Audio. Interactive environment. Option of upgrading tank. Different concept
as far as the hip hop theme. Predictable enemies AI.

A
nice change to playing the ususal type of shoot-em-up, but a little bit more
time should have been spent on the Artificial Inteligence of the enemy tanks due
to the fact that they soon become predictable. |
